C-MAP electronic charts (ECs) are derived from
geographical data -including official government
charts - which we believe to be accurate.They are
neither verified nor approved by Hydrographic
Authorities. C-MAP ECs are designed only to ease
and speed navigation calculations and so must not
be relied upon as aprimary source of navigation
information, but rather a backup to the use of
official government charts and prudent navigation
habits.
There is no direct relationship between the color
of water areas and their depth. The navigator shall
always query the area for depth information and use
the official paper charts.
WARNING
In about 30 seconds the
last-used display appears.
You can go to the last-used
display faster by pressing any
key when this screen appears.
Start-up sequence
Note 1: The example screens shown in this manual may not match the screens
you see on your display. The screen you see depends on your system
configuration and equipment settings.
Note 2: If the message “SYSTEM HAS FAILED START UP TEST. PLEASE
CONTACT A LOCAL FURUNO REPRESENTATIVE FOR REPAIR.
PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUE.” appears, contact your dealer for
advice.
Note 3: At the very first time you turn on your unit, the simulation mode window
appears. Choose YES or NO as appropriate and push the [ENTER]
knob.
The equipment takes 90 seconds to find its position when turned on for the very
first time. Thereafter it takes about 12 seconds to find position each time the
power is turned on. The message “NO FIX”, which means the equipment is now
finding its position, appears at the bottom of the plotter display immediately after
turning the power on. When the GPS receiver finds its position, “NO FIX”
changes to “2D” or “3D” to show that position data is now accurate.
Turning the power off
Press and hold the [POWER/BRILL] key until the screen goes blank (about four
seconds).

2.5 Compass Display
The compass display, shown in combination displays, provides steering
information. The compass rose shows two triangles: the red triangle shows own
ship’s course and the black triangle, which moves with ship’s course, shows the
bearing to destination waypoint.
The water temperature and depth graphs, which require appropriate sensors,
shows the latest 10 minutes of water temperature and depth data.

Reading the XTE (cross-track error) monitor
The XTE monitor, located below the compass rose, shows the distance you are
off course and the direction to steer to return to course. The own ship marker in
the monitor moves according to direction and distance off course. An arrow
appears at the right or left side of the XTE monitor and it shows the direction to
steer to return to intended course. It is shown in red when you should steer left,
and green when you should steer right. In the example above you would steer
left to return to course. To maintain course, steer the vessel so the own ship
marker stays at the center of the XTE monitor. Note that the XTE range can be
changed by rotating the [ENTER] knob.
2.6 Highway Display
The highway display, shown in combination display with the plotter screen,
provides a graphic presentation of ship’s track along intended course. It is useful
for monitoring ship’s progress toward a waypoint. The own ship marker shows
the relation between your vessel and intended course.
